For Immediate Release - Oct 13, 2025

Flooding in Low Lying Areas Possible on the South Fork

The South Fork of the Rio Grande watershed has experienced heavy rainfall for the last few days. The National Weather Service forecasters in Pueblo estimate that an additional 3-4 inches of rain is expected over the watershed today and through the evening.

NWS forecasters expect the South Fork to rise to action stage by tomorrow morning, and crest at approximately 12:00 pm Tuesday.

NWS forecasters stressed that with the ground already saturated from Friday and Saturday's rainfall, the impact could cause a river flow higher than what was experienced on Saturday 10/11/2025. Flooding could occur in low lying areas of the South Fork channel.

Be Prepared
Residents in flood-prone zones should:

Stay informed by monitoring local alerts, weather forecasts, and river level updates.

Have a plan to move vehicles, livestock, and valuables to higher ground and remember conditions can change quickly.

Avoid walking or driving through flooded areas. Just six inches of moving water can knock a person down, and one foot can carry away a vehicle.

Keep drainage areas clear of debris to help minimize local flooding.

Stay Clear of Riverbanks
High and fast-moving water can cause unstable ground conditions and erosion along the banks. Keep a safe distance, and remind children and pets to do the same.

We will continue to provide updated information as it becomes available.
